The BBC is reporting that there's a possible new case of foot and
mouth disease some 30 miles away from the recent outbreak in
Surrey.
There's a 10km exclusion zone around the farm near Egham, a
pre-emptive slaughter has been ordered and tests are being carried
out to see if the animals' symptoms are due to foot and mouth.
We'd stress that at present the outbreak is unconfirmed and there
are many infections that lead to symptoms similar to those seen with
foot and mouth.
